Wow! What a corrupt system. Forgive me for being stupid, but I still can't figure out what the doctor gets out of this if not some kind of kick-back?

It can be a lucrative business. Getting the doctor to write you a prescription for pain killers doesn't usually cost much, but a diagnosis of 'work-related stress' would go for more since, by German law, your employer is then obligated to send you to a resort and pay for daily massages for up to six weeks to help you 'recover'. Black markets crop up in ALL socialist systems.
